Antennas Direct ClearStream Eclipse Amplified UHF Indoor TV Antenna, Reversible, 50+ Mile Range – w/ 12 ft. Cable, Jolt Switch USB Amplifier

Working as promised. 35+ miles away from towers. Had to install on wall on 2nd floor

UPDATE: After just over a week, I am returning this antenna. Based on the fact that on multiple occasions I have had the main stations I wanted to watch lose signal and pixelate or go out completely. This has been VERY frustrating! This past Wednesday evening, we wanted to watch a show on CBS. When I turned the TV on, that station was gone. NO SIGNAL at all! What??? I climbed into the attic and repositioned the antenna. Multiple times. Each time I'd climb back down and go check the TV. After about 5 tries, I finally got CBS to come in perfectly. We missed about 15 minutes of the show. This has happened several times since, with different stations. I give up! Today I called the company number on the included instruction sheet. After talking with a rep there, we determined that this was NOT the best antenna for our needs. I will be ordering the antenna the rep recommended and returning this one. I will say that even with the inconvenience, it is WELL WORTH it since I am still cutting cable and those ridiculous high bills! The customer service for Amazon and Antennas Direct is outstanding! ************************************************************** I've been wanting to get an antenna for quite some time. Having 'cut cable' years ago, I have missed seeing my local TV stations. But the cost savings by not having cable has been well worth it. I now wish I'd bought an antenna sooner! I found this one by reading recommendations in a well-known consumer testing write-up. Straight out of the box, I was a bit surprised and doubtful that this thing would work. I will say that it appears a bit flimsy, or 'floppy' would be more correct. That big loop you see is a type of plastic that is not too rigid. It bends and flops about pretty easily. But I figured as long as it works, no big deal. I started experimenting with different locations in my living room. Each time running a new scan. The first location/scan was a bit depressing. I got 29 stations. When I looked at the Channel List, MOST of those stations were the random shopping/religious/old reruns stations. Nothing wrong with that, BUT my main desire was to get my 3 local main network stations plus PBS. I was only getting one of those. Moving about and running a new scan after each move, the count of stations was a roller coaster. The lowest count was 27, the highest was 33. And STILL, only getting one of the network stations I wanted. I was thinking this antenna was NOT going to work out for my needs. The only other option was to put it in the attic. I was NOT very favorable in doing that. NOT in the April heat here in Florida. BUT I knew right where my old existing 'cable era' line was and it was right by the attic access ladder. I found the attic cable I needed for the living room right away. I was half hot, half not. My upper half bearing the heat of the attic, my lower half feeling the breeze in my opened garage as I stood on the attic ladder gaining access to the old cable line. I hooked the antenna up to that line. I gingerly pinned it to a roof truss in the general alignment I needed based on my antenna pointing app on my phone. NOW, it was time to see the results. Climbing down, off the ladder, I eagerly ran a rescan in the living room. Now, I was getting 57 channels. I WAS getting the 3 main networks now, but they were a bit pixelated. Soooo, back on the ladder, readjust the antenna. Back down the ladder and rescan the channels. Next time, I got 59 channels and now, SUCCESS! I was getting all 3 local network channels perfectly! I still wanted PBS and that took quite a bit more fine tuning of the antenna and rescanning until I finally got the end results I was hoping for. I now have EXCELLENT digital reception of all the channels I wanted AND more!

Great reception! I had a cheaper antenna that was practically useless.

Def not 50+mile. Maybe 10 miles? Barely picked up anything in our house. Sad.

Picture isn’t first class even though I purchased the more expensive unit.

A lot better than the one I had first. More channels to choose from.

The ClearStream Eclipse antenna is for UHF and VHF despite its name. I received it today and it took hardly any time to connect it to the TV and do a channel scan. It found 99 channels out of 107 in my area. My home is about 7 miles from most transmitters and 37 miles from one. While initial set-up was speedy, finding the best location for the antenna was more time consuming. My mid-century home has old-time aluminum window frames so I didn't even bother trying to put the antenna on the glass (I've heard metals interfere with the signal). It's a one-story, brick home surrounded by very tall trees. The transmitters' location is southwest while my walls are south and west so I couldn't point the antenna exactly where I wanted. No matter because the antenna still pulled in so many stations. I didn't bother to figure out which stations didn't get picked up either. One thing noticed, though, is that while I was moving around the living room holding up the antenna, the sound would go out for a second and then be back again. I verified *all* connections were secure and never did figure out how it was happening. Once I decided on a spot, however, I affixed the antenna and did not touch it or the cable again...and no more sound issues. Of course, I have been using the antenna for only a few hours so I don't know if I will run into problems when life "happens", but so far so good. Looking forward to watching "Zorro" on GRIT TV on Saturday morning!

Working well but I live in a large City with strong signals. Just took a little effort to find best placement for all stations.

Brilliant indoor aerial for my kitchen tv. It has replaced the flat aerial which was mounted high on the wall, to get any picture at all, which on a good day would give me two channels with pictures which kept breaking up. The CLEARSTREEM ECLIPSE is giving me 25 tv channels with pictures as good as my main 55inch set in the living room, which runs off the rooftop aerial, plus 10 radio stations. I simply stuck it on to my kitchen window with the mini Velcro tabs provided, and the cable is stuck to the side wall with the fantastic clear heavy duty double sided taped ( Also from Amazon) , and hidden by the venetian blind. Worth paying a little bit more. I can now eat at the kitchen table with all my regular channels to watch.

THIS IS the one of 4 antennas that worked for me. It replaced the same one I got at Best Buy ten years ago, paid $85 then ,this one $68. So it may be pricier then the others, but worth it to me. Simple install, amplifier boosts reception

As advertised and delivered in a timely fashion. But delivery instructions ignored.

Failed to detect any signal, but hardly surprising as I know it’s weak in our location

Worse reception than a 30 year old flying saucer unamplified antennae.
